I'm not entirely certain this even counts as a post office location, as I've been told different…read morethings by different employees. I've had some tell me it is, and others tell me it's an "affiliate" location, meaning they lack many of the services of actual post office locations. If you want to send something that has already been postmarked and you have absolutely no questions on, it will do. If you need to have them print a shipping label, or answer any questions, I would try a different location. This location is staffed by ACE employees, not postal workers, so they are not able to answer many questions regarding the process of sending things out, even just down to "how many stamps will I need on this?". Went in recently to send out a a package- I do not have a printer at home, so I had a code for them to scan to print the shipping label there, something I have had 0 issues with at other post office locations. When I asked if they could scan it, the employee basically said "I don't know how , so no". If you don't know how, why are you the one working the mail counter? I have also tried to return mail that was addressed to former tenants (which we were instructed by the post office to do, just send it back and only accept our mail) and was told I would need to go to a "real" post office to do so. So then what are you? I would say skip it and just go to an "official" post office location, and save yourself the time and hassle.

I was literally in & out in about 5 minutes total. That is not what I expected given that we are now into the Christmas season. The clerk who waited on me was pleasant, courteous, & worked in an efficient manner. Plus--now get this--he apologized for the wait. (Wish I had asked his name--my receipt says he is Clerk 77.).

What's not to love about this post office? Sure it is sometimes packed but in my experience it…read morerarely happens so I will go the extra mile just to get a good post office experience. This post office is exclusively for people with access to base and not going to lie, if you've never been here you wouldn't know where to find the post office because there are no signs. It is tucked away on the first floor of one of the buildings. The clerks at this post office are always so kind and cordial and they do not hassle you like in other post offices in town. The post office itself is nice and neat and they are always stocked with a variety of flat rate boxes, even ones that you can't find in the regular post offices. These guys really set the bar for customer service and there is hardly ever a line. What else sets this post office apart from the rest? They always have a nice welcoming bowl of dum dums lollipops. On your way out there's nothing like eating your favorite dum dum and if you're lucky you'll catch a glimpse of jets taking off.
